The Ducks have found success by using speed and relentless forechecking to overwhelm a veteran Edmonton opponent.
Anaheim’s young core has exposed defensive breakdowns and turnovers, particularly from Evan Bouchard, while capitalizing on odd-man rushes in a decisive third period.
Edmonton, meanwhile, has struggled to match that pace, with Connor McDavid looking less dynamic than usual and the team giving up too many chances to stay competitive.
For the Oilers to respond in Game 4, they’ll need cleaner execution, stronger defense and a return to form from their star players.
